Hi Thomas, thanks for the great work!
The side bar at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/ just lists "Release Nots v4.0" and "JavaDoc v4.0". I think it would be better if that were "Release Notes v4.0-alpha1" and "JavaDoc v4.0-alpha1" Benedikt 2013/7/6 Thomas Neidhart <thomas.neidh...@gmail.com> > The Apache Commons team is pleased to announce the release of > commons-collections4-4.0-alpha1! > > Commons Collections is a project to develop and maintain collection > classes based on and inspired by the JDK collection framework. > Collections 4 uses the generics features of Java 5 and is not compatible > with earlier JDK versions. > > This is the first release of Collections 4 and is being made available > to encourage use and feedback from the community. The API for the final > 4.0 release may change in possibly incompatible ways, thus as a > consequence, this release is *not* made available via maven central, see > download instructions below. > > Commons Collections 4.0-alpha1 requires a minimum of Java 5 to build and > run.
